How we work
Editorial Standards
Sourcing
We republish records that come from official sources: law enforcement agencies, courts, jails, and state registries. Every record keeps its source URL and the time it was fetched. If we cannot verify the source, we do not publish it.
Presumption of innocence
An arrest, booking, warrant, or charge is not a conviction. We label booking and warrant surfaces clearly, and we never write headlines that imply guilt before a court decides.
Redaction policy
We redact exact addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, phone numbers, and other sensitive identifiers before a record reaches the public site. Redaction is visible: masked fields appear as boxed mono tokens, not hidden assumptions.
No pay-to-remove
We do not charge anyone to remove, suppress, or alter a record. Removal or correction happens only through our published corrections process and is logged in the audit trail.
Corrections
When we get a correction request with a verifiable source, we review it within two business days. Approved changes update the public record and leave the original source intact.
